Chapter 229 She's here again

Changle curled his lips, "Sister Jiang, don't be fooled by this exquisite box. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival cake given to you by the Emperor. It is made by the Imperial Kitchen. It looks good but is not practical. It is definitely not as delicious as Sister Jiang's mooncake."

"Puff..."

Looking at Changle's disparaging look at Xiao Jingzhao, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help laughing out loud.

Changle said seriously: "Sister Jiang, don't disbelieve me. Changle never lied. The cakes in the imperial kitchen are not as delicious as yours. Even the imperial food is not as delicious as the ones in Sister Jiang's house."

"How can I not believe what Changle said? But the imperial chef's cooking is not bad. It's just that people get tired of delicacies from land and sea."

Changle tilted her head, "Sister Jiang, you believe me, why are you still laughing?"

"I laugh at the emperor having a sister with black sesame filling."

"What is black sesame filling?"

Changle's innocent look is cute and adorable. Jiang Shuyue pinched her little face and smiled, "Yuanxiao has black sesame filling. Yuanxiao is white, just like Changle's little face."

Changle likes to be close to Jiang Shuyue, and nodded seriously, "Well, I like Yuanxiao too. It's soft and sticky, and it's delicious."

In Shumoxuan, Suisui sat on the desk, and his short legs hanging by the table swayed.

"Uncle, do you know? The pillars in the palace are very big, and the beams are very high. It would be great if Shengsheng was here. I would ask him to take me to the beams of the palace to sit and play."

On this reunion day, he missed Shuisheng even more. He dreamed of Shuisheng last night. In the dream, Shuisheng hugged him and flew very high. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping in the arms of the emperor father.

Su Nan sat up and looked at Sui Sui with his eyes full of pampering. "Shengsheng's current kung fu can't fly to the beams. Nangong's light kung fu is good. He must be able to do it."

"Hehe, the emperor father can also do it, but he is too busy. I have been in the palace for a few days, and daddy only has time to play with me at night." Sui Sui said with a pout.

He was not angry. The eldest aunt said that daddy was the king of a country and had to deal with court affairs every day. Only in this way could Wanling country prosper and the country be peaceful and the people be safe.

"Are you used to eating in the palace?" Su Nan remembered that Changle always complained that the food in the palace was not as delicious as here, and he was worried that Sui Sui would be hungry.

Sui Sui pursed her lips and smiled and nodded, saying: "The Royal Grandmother asked the imperial chef to make a lot of beautiful cakes and delicious meat, and my aunt brought cakes back today."

Su Nan looked alert, "She, she is here again?"

"My aunt said there will be a lantern festival on the street tonight, and she wants to take me to see it."

Su Nan shook his head, "There are many people on the street tonight, don't go, there are also many lanterns in the mansion, we can go to the pond to release them."

He has experienced how lively Changle is.

"Are you worried about the beggars? Don't worry, there are more patrol guards tonight than usual, it's very safe." Sui Sui saw through Su Nan's thoughts at a glance.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the yard.

Sui Sui's eyes lit up, "It's my uncle who is back."

Before Su Nan picked Sui Sui up from the desk, Nangong Zeyue walked in quickly.

"Sui Sui, Nan Nan."

"Uncle Nangong!"

Sui Sui opened his arms, and Nangong Zeyue embraced Sui Sui skillfully.

"Uncle Nangong, Sui Sui hasn't seen you for a long time. Can you stay here today?"

"Sui Sui, be good. After this period of busy work, uncle will come back often to play with you. I have someone send back the restaurant's signature dishes. You have to go back to the restaurant after lunch."

Nangong Zeyue took some time out from his busy schedule to come back today. He thought that there would be few people staying in the restaurant during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Who knew that before half a day today, only a small part of the guest rooms were left.

Nangong Zeyue was talking to Su Nan and Sui Sui in Shumoxuan. Soon, a maid came to invite them to the flower hall of Xingyueyuan to taste moon cakes.

Walking into the flower hall, the room was filled with an enticing sweet smell.

Jiang Shuyue smiled and waved, "Come over and have a taste of freshly baked mooncakes."

Nangong Zeyue saw a girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old picking up a golden cake and eating it with relish.

She looked very much like Sui Sui, and it was obvious that she was from the Xiao family without any introduction.

Su Nan saw Nangong Zeyue stop moving forward, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Meet the princess."

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness, I meet the princess." Nangong Zeyue bowed.

Changle swallowed the mooncake in her mouth and smiled at Nangong Zeyue, "There is only little aunt Sui Sui here, not the princess. Everyone, don't be restrained, come and have a taste, the mooncakes made by Sister Jiang are very sweet."

Then he glared at Su Nan again, "Don't be so startled in the future, I'm not deaf."

"Hehe, aren't I afraid that Her Royal Highness didn't hear it?" Su Nan perfunctorily bowed his hands and pulled Sui Sui to sit in the seat farthest from Changle.

"Sui Sui, come to your aunt." Changle picked up the mooncake and was about to feed Sui Sui.

Sunan looked at Jiang Shuyue, "Sister, can Sui Sui eat mooncakes?"

"You can eat it. It's okay to rinse your mouth later."

Today is a festival, and exceptions can be made for everything.

Sunan put one hand on Sui Sui's shoulders and took the mooncake from Changle's hand with the other hand, as if he would never let Changle take Sui Sui away.

"Sunan you..."

Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue looked at the two children's posture, smiled at each other, and walked towards the corridor outside the flower hall at the same time.

"There are more people staying in the inn than the previous day, and the restaurant is full every day. You can just focus on Jishitang."

"Very good, I feel relieved that you and Hu Qing are there in the restaurant. In a few days, I will go to the farm to see if there are fresh vegetables for the restaurant before the New Year."

Cang Yun said before he went to Zhuangzi this time that there was not much glass paste left and the greenhouse would be completed soon.

To be safe, she had to go and check it out in person.

Nangong Zeyue walked to the edge of the corridor and turned around, his clear eyes swept across Jiang Shuyue's face.

The bright sunshine shone through the leaves, casting a light and shadow on her beautiful and extraordinary profile. Her butterfly-like eyelashes curled up slightly, and her eyes were smart and full of spirit, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Nangong Zeyue quickly looked away and looked into the distance. He cleared his throat and said, "The emperor won't come today, right?"

"Why is he coming?"

Jiang Shuyue didn't know how Nangong Zeyue felt when he heard the rumor that she was engaged these days.

These days, he was in Cao's camp but his heart was in Han. Every time he heard that someone went to Jiang's house to propose marriage, his heart was in his throat.

Hearing that everyone returned in defeat, he secretly guessed, who was that person?

Nangong Zeyue was stunned, "Not him?"

Jiang Shuyue was confused and waved her hand, "What do you mean, is it him? Don't guess blindly, follow me to the front hall to make arrangements, Uncle Lin should leave the palace today."

Jiang Shuyue asked Qiuju to reward the maids and servants in the mansion with silver ingots, and the mansion was full of joy.

…

The dinner arranged by the Queen Mother was in the Stargazing Tower, where you can enjoy the moon while eating.

It was almost noon, and Xiao Jingzhao was about to serve the meal when he heard the eunuch outside the palace report, "Jingzhao Yin Lu asked for an audience!"

Eunuch Ma looked at Xiao Jingzhao: "Your Majesty, are you still serving?"

"Serve!"
